It means:

   o extra branches in Git that only get security issues and heavy breakage
     cherry-picked
   o dual release scheme (LTS version, main release version)
   o separate URLs for obtaining packages (see [1])
   o support of those LTS branches in Git (and their binary release) for
     a defined period of time (until the next bundle release, basically)
   o AND: I have seen several people using the Baikal LTS Bundle!!!
